    What powers the ac compressor on an electric vehicle?

    The AC on the Corolla Hybrid I once owned was really good. Not the typical small car sucky AC. The engine would shut off at a stop light and when the car was driven by the electric motor. The AC ran regardless if the gas engine was running or not. There is an unadvertised remote start trick you...

    23 land rover. All this for an oil change .

    My dad has a Jaguer F-Pace with a V6 and that is probably the same engine. There is a tube under the oil fill cap for an oil extractor. An oil extractor would be a shop owned tool and your shop should have one.

    US Supreme Court unanimously rules excessive county building fees may be unconstitutional

    Regarding property rights, I'm not pointing at anyone. Most all of us here are two faced. You can say your for property rights, but I bet you wouldn't want to live on the outskirts of town next to a farm that was sold to make way for a mobile/manufactured home park next to you.

    Speaking of Captain D's, there is a newer one near my synagogue. It's in Whitehall, OH, an area I tend to avoid. Pic from the Columbus Dispatch.

    Would you replace at 4/32nds ?

    This video might be of interest to a few here. This explains how some Michelin tires maintain good wet traction as the tire wears down. I assume Michelin has patents on this that will expire eventually if not already.

    Bead Buster

    I can't comment on the tool, but pushing or wedging a tire to allow room to swap sensors might not be as easy as you think depending what you're working on. I had a tire on a wheel with the bead already broken. There was no valve stem or sensor on the wheel because of a wheel change over. I...

    What is the single best vehicle to buy if you're a tightwad?

    Some poor people get by with domestics and make it work for them cheaper than buying a Toyota or Honda. If you're mechanically inclined and can source parts from a salvage yard, a crappy Chevy Cruze might be cheaper to own than a Corolla.
